Hippie, Yes, a controller would normally thermal, if it runs too hot due to overgearing or such

If a weird short-cut is occured (or an error in the controller itself), it can actualy burn down. But if it gets hot because of a 'normal' situation, such as overgearing, the controller would shutdown, there is a PTC or an NTC in it which measures the temperature, and tells it when to shut down to prevent a meltdown.
